Expensive Luxury.

Chickens in this country come high but
some people in this country must have
them just the same. Last Monday
night Mr.. Wetzels chicken roost was raid
ed and two Of the fowls surreptitiously
removed. The fowl burglar was tracked
in the snow and finally captured, but not
in time to save the chickens. He and in
vited guests had made sumptuous repast
at Mr.. Wetzels expense. Two men were
arrested and brought before Judge Huy;
one said he had been invited to dine at
certain place, in fact, had been asked to
stay as long as he wanted to- As he was
assured that his hosts table would be la
den with all the delicacies of the season
he accepted. He didn't see why the zen
tertainee" should be held responsible for
the crimes of his entertainer. He was ac-
cordingly allowed to "go and sin no more"
The genial host however, Jared less for
tnnately. Judge Huy thought atthis season
of the year chickens for banquet like
that ought to be WORTH about an x piece,
or twenty dollars pair. This fine, the
man paid with the remark that his peculi-
ar ways 'sWhen he was full" always cost
him considerable, He thought that this
little eccentricity of his was more expen-
sive than champagne "bloW out" This
will probably put a quietus on this enter
prising method of procuring the delicacies
Of the season. They are way above the
reach Of ordinary capitalists.

ipices. They were soon outstripped by
the antelopes, which, on gaining the other
extremity of the circle, were driven back
and pursued by the fresh hunters. They
turned and flew in another direction, but
there too, they found new enemies. In
this way they were alternately pursued
backwards and forwards, till at length sew
eral fell prey prey to the skill Of the
wild hunters This scene, which lasted
for two hours, was indeed picturesque but
was exceedingly laborious to the hunters.
This chase is often SO unproductive, even
when they are able to worry the animals
down, and shoot them, that forty or fifty
Indians will sometimes be engaged for
half a day, without obtaining more than
two or three antelopes."

Alleged Fun.

About half a dozen of 'sthe boys took
in the town Monday night and woe unto
everyone who hppened to fall in with
them. They rolled their victims in the
snow, washed their faces, stood them on
their heads and kept on having fun with
them until bought off by treat. But
they, too, came to grief. Another skirm-
ishing party of sharp shooters were lying
in ambush and opened on the gang dead
ly charge of superannuated eggs, all of
which took effect where they would do
the most good.

Look Out For Him

Regina CN. ". IT, Leader: 1t would be
well if our Montana exchanges would en-
tighten the business community over there
regarding the character of the gentleman
who has just gone over there. Mr.. Bixby,
who left here with two police deserters, is
very smooth talker. and is very slick al
together. He opened restaurant at Mac
leod, got credit with everyone. paid no one,
and is supposed to have skipped beyond
the reach of his creditors with something
like $1,000 in his pocket. We should not
be surprised to hear from him in similar
connection in Montana.

MONTANA.

The past year has, in some respects been
a severe one upon our Montana friends A
fearful drouth turned thousands of acres
that are generally rich in pasture, into al
most a desert, and the fail in copper caus-
ed temporary halt in an enterprise which
gives more men employment than any 9th
er in the territory. These adversities bore
heavily upon the farmers and stock men,
and some laborers, but in other respects
there was tremendous progress. The pop
ulation has so greatly increased, that now
the territory, with treasures Of gold and
treasures of silver, and countless herds as
an offering, stands knocking at the front
door of the nation, demanding admittance
into the family of states. The request
should not be refused for a single day.
The population, the wealth, AID the re-
sources Of the territory are most ample to
justify the demand. The people are not
only worthy to receive the boon, but from
the very nature of things; from their po-
eIliOu. bue1I UCSul)atIol. eiio SAAih"so Wy
live in and the altitude of their territory,
they will always be worthy. Now and
forever, to live they will have to work;
under the cold of their winters they will
necessarily have to be thoughtful and care
ful of all living things that depend upon
them; the long evenings will draw close
the family circle, and make reading, and
music, and the exalting of things of life
necessities; they will always be rich
people, and that will, while making them
self-reliant, at the same time give them a
| deep interest i'll desiring that property
shall be protected, and that no misfortunes
shall come; and with the intense love OF
home which such causes produce, the peo-
pie, as a whole, can always be counted
upon as bulwork of strength to the Ma,
ton. While extending the New Years
welcome to our northern neighbors, we
add the hope that before the present year
shall have mwound its cycles, the further
pleasure will be permitted US of congratu-
lating them upon the admission into the
union of their great territory.-sah Lax

TOO HARD A GAME.

The year was exactly one week old,
With tifty-one more to come,
Remembering his oath in which he told,
sI'll drink no more whisky, By Gum!"
A friend did ask hi u, ''What II you take?"
He quietly said, "a cigar
And though at dice he lost every shake,
Not drink would he take at the bar.
He stunned the red stuff, and danger saw
Lurk in the barkeep's eye,
But when he got broke in a game of draw,
Said, Gimme little old rye"

ed new order to registers, in which he
directs them to not receive entries under
the homestead, pre-emption or timber cul-
ure acts from any person not personally
known to him and fully identified by some
responsible party. The effect of this order
will be to entirely close the public lands
to entry by emigrants who have no friends
within the land district in which they de-
sire to locate When Secretary Lamar re-
turns he will have an opportunity to over
rule Sparks.

Benton last Wednesday morning with one

the condition of the roads it is almost GER
tain that they could not have reached any

have been felt for their safety. AS it was
however, camping inE the snow with no
roof over one, but the starry armament, is
not very pleasant recreation.

Q 2

What is the matter that the Missouri
river is omitted from the appropriations
in the river and harbor bill? OF course it
is all rigot that Glendive should be con-
nected with the navigable waters of the
country, but the upper Missouri ought to
be considered of equal Importance. Glen
dive has railroad, but Benton and other
river towns and posts have none.-Herazd.

Condition of Slock.

Horace Countryman came down from
Saltwater last night. He says the result
OF the storm will be extensive mortality on
the ranges. Tie thaw of the past few days
has packed the snow, and the frost harden

ting through it to the short grass. Sup
posing the fall of snow this winterto equal
that of 1881, the result will be infinitely

more disastrous. In 1881 there was plenty
of grass but few cattle Now there is very
little grass, and the ranges are crowded.
We must hope for the best, butthe outlook
for cattle is not bright by any means

LEWIS AND CLARKE.

With no apology for beginning abruptly
with the great explorers at the headwaters
of the Missouri. we read that the South
East fork they called Gallatin's river in
honor of the secretary of the treasury. In
honor of President Jefferson the south
west branch was named. while the middle
one was christened Madison. "Thess two
AS we'll as the Gallatin, run with great We
locity and throw out large bodies of water.
Gallatin river is however, the most rapid
of the three, and though not quite as deep,
is vet navigable for considerable dis
tance. The beds Of all Of them are form
ed of smooth pebble and gravel, and the
waters are perfectly transparent. Correct
ly deciding that the Jefferson branch to
the southwest would bring them nearest to
the head of the Columbia river they took
their weary way up that winding, swift
and broken stream, and after many adven-
lures arrived at its source. The river grad
ually became smaller until it SO diminish
ed in width that one of the men in fit Of
enthusiasm, with one foot on each side OF
the river, thanked God that he had lived
to bestride the Missouri. As they proceed
ed their hopes of soon seeing the head
waters of the Columbia, arose almost to
painful anxiety, when after four miles
from the last abrupt turn of the river, they
reached small gap formed by the high
leaving room for the Indian road which
they followed. From the foot of one of
the lowest of these mountains, issues the
remotest waters of the Missouri. "They
had now reached the hidden sources of
that river, which had never yet been seen
by civilized man; and as they quenched
their thirst at the chaste and icy fountain
as they sat down by the brink Of that
little rivulet, which yielded its distant and
modest tribute to the parent ocean, they
felt themselves rewarded for all their la
bors and all their difficulties They left
with reluctance, this interesting spot, and
pursuing the Indian road between the inter
val of the hills, arrived at the top Of ridge,
from which they saw high mountains, par
TALLY covered with snow, still to the west
of them. The ridge upon which they stood
formed the dividing line between the wa
ters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
There is something inspiring in the
thought of this little band of hardy ex-
plorers, standing upon the dividing line of
the old and new empires in the heart of a
trackless wilderness This was the first
union of the east and west the bonds be
tween which have been closer cemented
during each succeeding decade.

The Sioux Treaty.

The Indian Commissioners have effect
ed an agreement with the Sioux I
dians at Fort Peck agency, in which the
Indians eoneede all title to their land ex-
cept that retained for reservation, the
boundary line of which will follow the
Missouri river from the mouth of the Big
Muddy over to the mouth of Milk river
and Porcupine creek, thence east to
point forty miles above the mouth of the
Big Muddy, for a stipulation of $780,
600, in annual payments of $165,000 for
the year. The reserve will contain about
100000 acres. The Indians will be given
the right to use the wood on the south side
of the Missouri, opposite said reserve for
fuel and building purposes.

The reason for pulling off their moe
casins when the Indians met in amicahle
council are not manifest. 1t was done to
indicate the sacred sincerity of their pro-
fessions when they smoke with a stranger
and imprecated on themselves the misery
of going barefoot forever if they were
faithless to their words, penalty by no
means light to those who rove over the
thorny plains of their country, at is not
unworthy to remark the analogy which
some Of the customs ofsthoss wild children
of the wilderness bear to those recorded
in holy writ Moses is admonished to pull
off his shoes, for the place on which he
stood was holy ground. Why this was en-
joined as an act OF reverence; whether it
was from the circumstance that in the
arid region, in which the patriarch then
resided, it was deemed test of the sin
cerity of devotion to walk upon the burn
ing sands barefooted, in some measure an
alogous to the pains infiieted by the prick
ly pear, does not appear

The report states that among the Sho-
shonees, who had no arms, the chief
game was the antelope, (which when pura
sued, retreats to the open plains where the
horses have full room for the chase But
such is its extraordinary feetness and wind
that single horse has no chance of out
running it, or firing it down; and the hun
ters are therefore obliged to resort to STRAIT
egem. About twenty Indians, mounted on
fine horses, and armed with bows and ar
rows, left the camp; and in short time
they deserted a herd of antelopes. They
Immediately separated into little squads of
two or three, and formed a scattered circle
round the herd of five or six miles. SO as
not to alarm them till they were perfectly
enclosed, and usually selected some com
mandlng eminence as a stand. Having
gained their positions, small party rode
towards the herd. and with wonderful dex-
ferity the huntsman preserved his seat.
